Nothing looks wrong.

Because you are using such an old version of mod_python, not sure
there is much more we can offer in the way of ideas. Am I right in
assuming that you are stuck with Apache 1.3 because that is all your
hosting service provides? If you do control your own web site, then
I'd really recommend upgrading to Apache 2.X and the most recent
version of of mod_python.
